In
1916
50 Farman-27 were built at
Dux factory.
Aircraft went into military service as observation platform, despite wings failed static
tests and calculations performed by (than students) V.P.Vetchinkin and
A.A.Arhangelsky
revealed that construction is dangerously weak and overloaded.

Farman-27 had very poor maneuverability. Nonetheless, military pilot A.K.Tumanskij managed
to down attacking German fighter while flying this wonder.
